...Tatiana Pogarskaia; Sergey Lupuleac; Julia Shinder; Philipp Westphal Riveting and bolting are common assembly methods in aircraft production. The fasteners are installed immediately after hole drilling and fix the relative tangential displacements of the parts that took place. A proper fastener...

...Haixia Wang; Dariusz Ceglarek A new methodology is presented to generate all of the assembly sequences for a production system configured as a N-station assembly line with k n (n = 1, 2,…, N) parts or subassemblies to be assembled at stations 1, 2,…, N, respectively. This expands current approaches...

...Wilma Polini; M. Marrocu; L. D’Ambrosio The aim of this work is to present a method for the tolerance analysis of an assembly involving free-form surfaces based on dimensional and geometric tolerances. The great effort of the present work is to deal with dimensional and geometric tolerances applied...

...A. Mikchevitch; J.-C. Le´on; A. Gouskov The aspects of fast and realistic simulation of flexible parts during the Assembly/Disassembly (A/D) process are discussed in this paper. The proposed approach, adapted to current Virtual Reality (VR) devices and incorporating mechanical models, will be used...
